Abstract
Background
The objective of our research is to evaluate a new arthroscopically assisted Latarjet technique.
Methods
We evaluated the clinical and radiological findings in 60 patients with chronic recurrent anterior gleno-humeral instability.
Results
Two recurrent anterior dislocations occurred at a minimum of two-year follow-up. Satisfactory clinical outcomes have been obtained. Healing rate of the graft was 96.7%, as evaluated at the CT scan. No neurologic injury or infections were detected.
Conclusions
This technique of arthroscopically assisted Latarjet combines mini-open and arthroscopic approach for improving the precision of the osseous tunnels in the glenoid and coracoid placement, minimising any potential risk of neurologic complications. It can be an option in subjects with anterior gleno-humeral instability and glenoid bone defect. Further studies should be performed to confirm our preliminary results.
